Mercy on me! I have a great dispositions to cry. − [20]
          [Singing.]
               Melodious birds sing madrigals −
               Whenas I sat in Pabylon −

               And a thousand vagram posies.
               To shallow, etc.



              SIMPLE
          Yonder he is coming, this way, Sir Hugh. [25]



              EVANS
          He’s welcome. −
          [Singing.]

               To shallow rivers, to whose falls −
          Heaven prosper the right! − What weapons is he?



              SIMPLE
          No  weapons,  sir.  There  comes  my  master,  Master  Shallow,  and  another
          gentleman; from Frogmore, over the [30] stile, this way.

              SHALLOW

          How  now,  Master  Parson?  Good  morrow,  good  Sir  Hugh.  Keep  a  gamester
          from the dice, and a good [35] Student from his book, and it is wonderful.



              SLENDER
          Ah, sweet Anne Page!
